‘STOP IAN’: The industry’s longest running and most exclusive Fantasy Football League implores industry to band together

CB Exclusive – Now in its 23rd year, advertising’s longest-running and most exclusive fantasy football league is opening up for good reason – to stop Bear Meets Eagle On Fire CD Ian Williamson (circled above) from claiming back-to-back titles. The newly renamed ‘Ian’s Thong’ is calling on the industry to rally behind the cause.

Says founder Cam Blackley, Bureau of Everything: “This started out as a bit of fun at Abbot Mead Vickers two decades ago but things have turned sour. This year it’s imperative we wipe the grin off Ian Williamson’s face and stop him from going back to back with Fantasy League victories. I hope that mission will galvanise the industry.”

Previous winners Leo ECD Tommy Cehak and Saatchi & Saatchi ANZ CCO Avish Gordhan were rightly disgusted at last season’s outcome.

Says two-time winner Tommy Cehak: “It’s pretty clear Ian adopted the ‘whatever Micah does I’ll do the opposite’ method and somehow it came off.”

A stinging rebuke was added by Avish Gordhan: “Ian winning again would be like giving Man City more money for transfers – unnecessary, unwanted and a bit boring.”

Adds Blackley: “You don’t even have to understand football, you just have to have had a gutful of Ian on podiums recently to understand how important the cause is. Come play in the league that has rightly been an industry secret until now and the prize?… naming rights to the league valued at about a billion-ish.”
